Wedding Makeup Ride or Die - Part Two

Hello there! I am back with the second part of my ride or die favs!! Today, I will be talking about my favorite eyeshadows, blushes, brow products and mascaras! Some of these items are high-end, but I have included very affordable ones too. Our NJ bridal makeup artists all agree that these items are amazing!

Starting with eyeshadows, these two companies below are the ONLY shadows I reach for these days. They are so luxurious, buttery, blendable and SO affordable. Morphe and Makeup Geek have taken the beauty industry by storm. I cannot say anything negative about these shadows. They really are amazing. I have used these shadows time and time again for my clients’ bridal makeup as well as my own. Whether it be weekends, photo shoots or just every day, I reach for these two more than anything else. I would definitely like to give Lorac Pro Palettes an honorable mention here. They may be considered high-end, but their eyeshadows are amazing. In fact, one of my favorite shades is in one of them.

Next up is blush. For me, blush is soooo hard to find. I can get some color in the summer, but I am VERY pale in the winter. Got it from my momma! Anyway, I have a hard time finding blush that doesn’t look too dark or too orange or too pink, etc. I find that once again, Morphe does it the best! Their palette’s are amazing and I would bet that any makeup artist would agree. The range of colors are beautiful and their prices are so affordable that never feel guilty (or have buyer’s remorse) if I want to buy several different colors. I would and have recommended these products to everyone, including brides for their bridal makeup!

This product is high-end, but only because great brow products are sooo hard to find in the drugstore. Brows are actually my favorite to work on when I am doing bridal makeup. I have been called the “brow whisperer” haha. I think brows are so important to your overall look. I use two products to make my brows perfect each and every day. The first one is the famous Anastasia Beverly Hills Brow Definer (I am in the shade Taupe) and the second is the Benefit Gimmie Brow Volumizing Eyebrow Gel (I am the medium shade). You cannot go wrong with these two products. Anastasia’s pencil is angled for a very precise application. The actual product is creamy for easy glide, but it’s not too creamy. Gimmie Brow helps fill in your brows and also glues your eyebrows down so they stay in place all day! The combination of these two is a makeup artists dream!

Last, but definitely not least, is the Too Faced Better Than Sex mascara. This mascara may be on the high-end, but its totally worth every penny. Over the summer, they also came out with a waterproof version as well which is best for your bridal makeup artist. This does everything it claims. This mascara turns my lashes into full, intense, and long lashes. I cannot rave more about this!!

That concludes my ride or die favorites!! I hope you enjoyed reading this and as always if you have any blog suggestions, please comment down below!
